In this paper, we propose a novel sequence-aware recommendation model. Our model utilizes self-attention mechanism to infer the item-item relationship from user's historical interactions. With self-attention, it is able to estimate the relative weights of each item in user interaction trajectories to learn better representations for user's transient interests. The model is finally trained in a metric learning framework, taking both short-term and long-term intentions into consideration. Experiments on a wide range of datasets on different domains demonstrate that our approach outperforms the state-of-the-art by a wide margin.

    cs.IR 2019-09 reject novelty 5.0 of 10

    SDM uses multi-head self-attention over short-term sessions and a learned gate to fuse long-term preferences, reporting improved top-N recall and Taobao online metrics, but the headline comparison is not fully controlled.

  2. Sequential Learner Modeling Using Multi-Relational Graph Convolutional Networks

    cs.AI 2026-07 reject novelty 4.0 of 10

    An unsupervised multi-relational GCN learner-modeling pipeline is described, but its own user study finds no significant benefit over the single-relation ConceptGCN baseline.
